Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 69: First Meeting with the Kung Fu Emperor
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when Lin Yuan checked into the hotel.

After flying from New York to Yanjing, I went straight to meet with director Zhang Mou.

He successfully persuaded director Zhang Mou on two major issues, actors and scripts, and achieved his goal.

This made Lin Yuan feel that his steps were more solid and he took a few steps forward.

If we say that through the movie "Hero", director Zhang Mou wants to go global.

Lin Yuan’s goal is the opposite. He wants to enter the domestic market through "Hero".

This is also the reason why he had to convince director Zhang Mou. He didn't want the first movie he starred in to be controversial in China.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just as Lin Yuan was about to take a shower, there was a knock on the door.

As soon as Lin Yuan opened the door, Zhang Ziyu, who was wearing very "cool" pajamas, came in dragging a suitcase.

"Sister, you are dressed too casually."

"Because you're my younger brother, you dress casually."

"Even if he's a younger brother, he's an adult younger brother."

"I know, just stop looking around. Come, take a look at these and see if you like them."

Zhang Ziyu put the suitcase she was dragging on the ground, then squatted down and unzipped the suitcase.

"Huh? Are these for me?"

Lin Yuan was surprised to find that the box contained several sets of men's clothing.

There are formal blazers, casual sports jackets, and even a trench coat.

Although you can't see the brands of these clothes, you can tell they are expensive just by looking at the materials.

These sets of clothes cost Zhang Ziyu at least six figures.

This was not the first time that Lin Yuan had been taken care of by Zhang Ziyu in his daily life. It had been since the last time he had made things clear with her in Hong Kong Island and clarified their relationship.

Zhang Ziyu has always taken care of him like an older sister and has never done anything that crossed the line again.

This made Lin Yuan feel very comfortable getting along with her.

"Of course. Look at what you are wearing. You are a star now, so you should pay more attention to your clothes than before. When you go back, you should form your own styling team. Now I will buy you some clothes to match your appearance." Zhang Ziyu replied with a smile.

Lin Yuan looked at his T-shirt and jeans outfit and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, if a handsome man looks good, he can wear anything.

But he could still feel Zhang Ziyu's genuine concern.

He nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you, sister."

"What are you thanking me for? Didn't you help me get the role today? Why am I saying thank you?" Zhang Ziyu's eyes were like crescent moons when she smiled, erasing the stubbornness in her temperament.

Because Lin Yuan played Canjian, Zhang Ziyu was able to switch to a role with more important lines: Feixue.

The two are going to play lovers again, but in "Hero", Canjian and Feixue are not a pair of lovers in love, but a pair full of love and hate entanglement.

The scenes between the two are mostly presented in the form of love and hate.

"You don't have to be so polite. I feel more relaxed and comfortable acting with you." Lin Yuan replied.

"I'm not as comfortable as you say, so you pushed me to another role."

"Ok?"

"You're pretending not to understand, huh? Ruyue's character has sex scenes, so pick the one you like."

As expected, women are all gossipy, and Zhang Ziyu did not forget to tease Lin Yuan about this.

"Gao Yuanyuan? She looks really pretty in the photo. Are you two familiar with each other?"

"How is that possible? I don't know her and have never seen her before." Lin Yuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Then why are you giving her such a great opportunity? With such a great favor, wouldn't she worship you at home?"

"Let's forget about worshipping her. I only chose her because she's a good fit."

"I don't believe you at all! What a man says!" Zhang Ziyu didn't look at all disbelieving.

"Alas, why does no one believe me when I tell the truth?"

What Lin Yuan said was true. After all, there were only a few actresses with type A blood and close to his age.

But he couldn't tell anyone about the system task because women would always focus on it.

But men are also gossipy about this kind of thing.

"I……"

"Boom boom boom!"

Lin Yuan was about to answer when there was another knock on the door. "No one else is looking for me. Is it Mr. Eisen?"

Lin Yuan was surprised to see a man in his forties standing at the door.

Although the man was wearing sunglasses, Lin Yuan recognized him at a glance as Li Renjie, the man known as the "Kung Fu Emperor".

If there is any action star in the current film and television industry who can barely approach Chen Long's status, it is only Li Renjie.

He made his debut in his early years by filming "Shaolin Temple". His action scenes are graceful and elegant, with his own style.

If a director wants to shoot an action scene that is extremely beautiful and combines both strength and flexibility, Li Renjie is the right choice.

Of course, there is now one more choice, Lin Yuan.

"Can I come in?" Li Renjie asked with a smile.

"Of course, please come in."

Li Renjie and Lin Yuan entered the room and were stunned when they saw Zhang Ziyu in her pajamas.

"Lin Yuan is my younger brother. We have already discussed the matter. I will go back to my room first." Zhang Ziyu said with a smile.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of her clothes, she wouldn't mind staying and chatting for a while.

After Zhang Ziyu closed the door and left, Lin Yuan asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Li, what can I do for you?"

"Mr. Li is too formal. I'm a few years older than you, so please call me Brother Li. I'll call you Brother Lin."

Li Renjie's answer showed his goodwill, and Lin Yuan roughly guessed his purpose.

"Okay, Brother Li."

"I'm here to express my gratitude."

"What? Thank you for what?" Lin Yuan certainly knew what Li Renjie meant, but he had to pretend not to understand.

"Thank you for not squeezing me out during the casting today."

The content of the meeting between Lin Yuan and Director Zhang Mou today was soon told to Li Renjie by Director Zhang Mou after the meeting.

After all, this is also important news involving funding implementation and role changes.

His career is at a bottleneck. If he can make another push with the help of the international blockbuster "Hero", he may be able to reach a higher level.

Otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, you may start to go downhill.

Theoretically speaking, Lin Yuan is most likely to choose the role of Wuming.

After all, this role has the most important scenes and connects the entire movie.

But Lin Yuan gave up this role and chose Canjian.

When Li Renjie learned the news later, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he thought that he was almost squeezed out.

Even though he has been in the entertainment industry for so many years and has a considerable status, he still does not have strong resistance when faced with the entry of strong capital.

This is the tragedy of an actor.

No matter how strong you are or how suitable you are for a role, you are not the one who sets the stage after all.

The person who sets up the stage can invite anyone he wants to perform, and you can only wait to be chosen.

"Brother Li, you're too polite. I never thought of playing Wuming, so how can I say I'm being squeezed out or thanked?"

"You can choose not to, but I can't refuse to thank you. I owe you a favor."

"Let's not talk about this topic any more. Brother Li, you are a master of Kung Fu movies. I have a lot to ask you."

"No, no, your swordsmanship in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was far superior to mine. I also watched the video of you fighting Tyson a while ago. You really stood up for Chinese Kung Fu."

Both of them wanted to get to know each other, so naturally they had a great conversation.

Lin Yuan learned a lot of valuable experience in action movie shooting from Li Renjie, which is a valuable asset for his decades-long film career.

They chatted until late at night before Li Renjie said goodbye and left.

　The transition chapter has ended, and the next intensive and exciting plot will begin soon.

　　Please keep up the good work, please keep up the good work, thank you very much.

　　The second story of the protagonist and Anne, which is intertwined in time and space.

　　This is the third time I’ve given a tip to you, my old friend.

　　It's just that this name is hard to remember =. =
